Doesn't Think Much op Bunker Hn.i
A native son or Oregon, " -who Is mak
ing a tour ot the East for the first time,
visited Boston last -week and writes home
that he went over to Charleston to see
Bunker Hill. Since he has seen it he
does not think so much of the British. It
will be remembered that the battle of
Bunker Hill, which was fought 128 years
agro, was one of the most celebrated bat
tles of the war of the Revolution. The
Americans were entrenched there, but
the British, after a long and bloody con
test, remained masters of the field. The
native son mentioned has always felt
grieved because the Americans were
driven out of their stronghold by the
British, in spite of the fact that they
had to climb the hill to get at them. His
Ideas about hills were different from
those of people who have not lived in
Oregon. After seeing the "Hill," which is
only 110 feet high, and climbing to the
blood-stained field on top where the bat
tle was fought, and finding in the center
of the grounds a monument in the shape
o an obelisk more than twice as high as
the hill (221 feet), he feels better satis
fied. He thinks the Americans were not
placed at any great advantage by their
elevation, nor the British entitled to any
great credit for climbing that hill. He
also called to mind the Britisher who
some 32 years ago climbed Mount Hood
on the Fourth of July. When near the
summit he sat down lo rest and looking
down the grand old mountain exclaimed
In astonishment: "Oo'd a thought the
blasted 'ill was so 'igh? ' So the native
son Is coming back to Oregon perfectly
Ulsfied and glad to live where "hills '
'are worth mentioning.
Explanation of Tough Meat. An old-
time citizen who is slightly addicted to
the pleasures of the table, and who has
been complaining of late of the scarcity
of good meats, met, when coming out of
a market last Saturday, the well-known
stockman of past years, Ben Snipes, who
had raised and marketed many a drove
of prime beef steers. He asked Mr.
Snipes If he were still raising beef cattle
and was told that he had given that
up ten years agor and was now dealing
in real estate in Seattle. "The days of '
making money on stock ranges are
past," eaid Mr. Snipes. "The days of
good, fat, juicy, grass-fed beef are past
also," said the citizen. "Right you are,"
sajd Mr. Snipes. "What Is the reason?"
asked the grumbler. "There is no range
any more like there used to be," replied
Mr. Snipes. "The ranges have to a great
extent been fenced in, and the grass
about eaten oft what is left. When there
were square miles of good grass for a
band of steers to range over, they fat
tened quickly and made prime beer fat.
Juicy and tender. Cattle can be fattened
on hay and grain now and made Into
first-class beef, but it does not have the
Une qualities of good grass-fed beef.
No Exceptions- Made to Rule. A
press dispatch was published yesterday
In regard to some silks and embroideries
found In the trunks of the wife of Cap
tain Harts, United States Engineer, on
her return from Japan. It states that
the goods had been reized and he might
have to pay a fine to the amount of
53000, three times their value. This was
deemed rather harjsh treatment of Cap
tain Harts and "his wife, who lived lor
some time where' Captain Harts had
charge of one of the United States en
gineer offices here. He was sent abroad
In the service of the United States, And
after being in Japan long enough for Mrs.
Harts' wardrobe to become pretty well
exhausted, she provided herself with ma
terials to replenish it and had to bring
them home. She could not have the
goods made up there except in native
style. There Is such a thing, said a Gov
ernment official yesterday, as being over
strict in such matters. The lady friends
of Mrs. Harts feel particularly sorry for
her, as now it may be sometime before
she has anything but Kimonos to wear.
Cheruieb and Toast. A citizen of
epicurean tastes, the manager of a large
manufacturing and exporting, concern,
has invented a new and delicious dish of
toast and cherries. He recommends it
highly as wholesome and soothing, but
his modesty forbids the mentioning of his
name in connection with it. His recipe
Is: Toast in slices, browned a delicate
golden color, and quite hot. Pit cherries,
place them on a chafing dish or stewpan
with sugar and water; quantum sufficlt.
When properly cooked spread on the
toast and consume at leisure. The use
of black cherries gives the dish a rather
pretty coloring, but Royal Ann cherries
will leave no room for complaint. All
who like novelties will do well to give
cherries on toast a trial.

"Value op Captain Love's Estate. The
value of the estate of the late Captain
Lewis Love is the subject of much dis
cussion these days; and the valuations ar
rived at are very different, running all
the way from 5500,000 to JL500.000. His
land claim, or farm, is the principal Item
of his estate. It comprises 400 acres with
in the city limits and nearly as much
more adjoining outside the city. A con
siderable portion of this Is covered with
brush and it is said that the yearly in
come from the whole has not been
enough to pay the taxes thereon. It is
practically impossible to say what this
land is worth per acre, but it is roughly
estimated at from $400 to $500. It is
improbable that the tract could be sold
for anywhere near this sum at present,
although If it were cleared up, laid out
in town lots and small tracts, It might
bring more than that in a few years. It
Is said that some ten years ago, before
hard times came on, he was offered 51000
per acre for it and like many others de
clined to sell at that time. He missed the
opportunity of a life time. He owned
seven brick buildings, large and small, in
the business district of the city, some
very valuable, and all rented at fair
rates, also one wooden building. He is
supposed to have had money loaned on
mortgage and in notes, as he was a
thrifty man and spent but a small part
of his income. Nothing definite is known
as to the amounts he had out, as he never
made any return of them for taxation,
though he did once furnish a list of mort
gages on which there was no tax. The
value of his estate Is a matter of no
particular interest to any one except his
heirs, but people will talk about other
people's business. A conservative esti
mate Is JSOO.OOO, which is probably as
much as the property could be sold for
now, but by careful administration of the
estate it might be made to yield $1,000,000
In a short time, and In a year or two It
might bring considerably more.
Wounded bt Tot Rifle. A lad of 16
years called on a well-known physician
of this city a day or two ago to have a
slight wound in the base of a forefinger
inside the hand treated. It was only a
slight puncture made by a toy rifle on
the Fourth of July, but his arm was
badly swollen on account of It and blood
poisoning had Bet In. The puncture- was
probed and the probe passed up some dis
tance into the palm of the hand, where
some foreign substance was encountered.
After considerable trouble two circular
wads of pasteboard were extracted and
the wound having been properly disin
fected and dressed relief soon followed.
The surgeon says that if the cause of the
trouble had not been discovered the arm
would soon have been In such a condi
tion from blood poisoning that it would
have been necessary to amputate it In
order to save the lad's life, and even
tljen his Injury might have proved fatal.
He strongly favors a law forbidding the
sale of toy rifles to any one. or allowing
dealers to keep such useless and dan
gerous nuisances for sale. The -successful
effort made in this city this year to pre
vent the use of such weapons and the
firing of crackers before or after July 4
is a step in this direction which was also
taken In several large Eastern cities and
was highly commended. Such destroyers
of quiet and menaces to life can very
well be Uspensed with. In cities especially.
Edgar Poppleton, a son of Dr. E. Pop
pleton, was shot in the heel by a bullet
from one of these toy rifles while in bath
ing on the beach a few days ago and
Dr. Poppleton was called to the beach
yesterday to look after the wound.
Grandstand Not Remunerative. An
allusion made to the leaky condition of
the grandstand at the Irvington racetrack
on the Fourth, and an Intimation that It
was about time that it was replaced by
a new one, has ruffled the temperof Cap
tain E. W. Spencer. He says the stand
cost $9000, and was examined by Architect
Lazarus Just before the Fourth and pro
nounced sound, fit for the sham fight
crowd, and capable of holding all the
people who could get lnto.it Such was
proved to be the case. The rain on -that
occasion came without orders and no one
is to blame for it, He says about all
classes of people have had the use of the
stand on all sorts of occasions ever since
it was built, and no one- has received
anything in return but abuse, except
himself, and he was once presented with
a testimonlaL It becomes tiresome giv
ing up tne use of good property year
after year for nothing. He does not
want any more testimonials nor abuse,
and Is happy to say that the stand is
now bringing In $1000 a year.
Would Cure Her ambition. A young
woman of this city who Is stage struck,
devotes her spare time to getting up
schemes to get herself on the stage. She
has a friend who does not approve of
her ambition and who loses no oppor
tunity to show her the folly of It. A day
or two ago, he pointed out to her on the
streets a little girl connected with a
troupe performing here, who was .going
along the street carrying a big valise al
most as heavy as herself, while a big
lubberly fellow walked along beside her
without ever offering to relieve her of the
burden. Another day he showed her a
young woman who used to have the lead
ing port in "The Belle of New York,"
and was a beautiful and virtuous girl
She Is still pretty and virtuous, but be
cause she is so has been reduced to sing
ing In a chorus. By calling her attention
to these phases of a theatrical life, her
friend hopes to cure the young woman of
her hankering for the stage.

Glad Contest Is Over. There has
been great pulling and hauling among
the friends of the various candidates for
the honor of being chosen Queen of the
Carnival. For several days last week the
contest among the friends of tho two
leading candidates has been at fever
heat, and it looked as if the contest
lasted much longer some of the candi
dates would come to pulling hair. One
candidate had the police force from the
Chief down working for her and it Is said
that another furnished $200 to be spent on
votes. iTooaDiy an concerned were

Liquor Licenses jn St. Pual. The1
statement of City Auditor Devlin la re
gard to the number of saloons in St.
Paul as compared with the number in
Portland, and the fact that a liquor
license there costs $1000 a year, has at-
uutieu inucn attention irom oom saloon
keepers and other citizens. Many are of
the opinion that it might be a good plan
to make the price of liquor licenses $1000
a year here. This would tend to in
crease the city's revenue from the liquor
traffic and' at the same time reduce the
number of saloons, and would do away
with many of the most undesirable ones.
Some, however, are opposed to the idea
of regulating the liquor traffic by license
while others say that it is the only way,
as other regulations do. not regulate at
all. As the license in St, Paul is regulated
by a state law, which makes the cost of
license in cities of over 10,000 inhabitants
$1000 a year, and in towns of less popu
lation $500 a year, it is not improbable
that the next Legislature may be asked
to take up the question here. Mr. J. E.
Strothex. a St. Paul man who was in
Portland on Saturday, when asked how
it worked to have so few saloons in that
city, said that probably Auditor Devlin
did not discover that In the Midway Dis
trict of SL( Paul, the residence section
abutting on the limits of Minneapolis,
there are many "blind pigs," that Is,
cigar stores, candy stores, lunch coun
ters, etc, where known and respectable
citizens can get their thirst for almost
any kind of liquor assuaged. Mr.
Strother said that the old feeling of hos
tility between the people of Minneapolis
and St. Paul, arising principally from
the fact that one city was mentioned
many tlme3 in the scriptures, while the
other was not mentioned at all, had all
disappeared since their b'ounderies had
met and residents of both cities now get
alohg harmoniously.
Candy Store Proprietor Arrested.
L. Chambers, who owns a candy store
in the Newcastle block on Russell street.
was placed under arrest last night
charged with attempting to assault Ester
Weis. aged six years. The complaint was
made by Mrs. Nat Brown, mother of the
girl. Chambers is well known in Port
land, having been a resident here for
many years. Before electric car systems
were established in Portland, he was
driver on one of the horse cars. The
little girl went to his store yesterday to
buy five cents worth of candy. The
mother became alarmed when she did not
return at once, and questioned the girl
regarding what had kept her. She gave
as the reason of her delay that Chambers
had taken her In a back room and would
not let her go home.
Thousands of Ties Go to Salt Lake.
The Salt Lake region seems destined to
leave parts of Oregon as destitute of
timber as that arid region Is. At the
rate young trees are being cut down to
supply piles for a railroad across Salt
Lake and the logs being cut into railroad
ties for street railways In Salt Lake City
a vast amount of land will be denuded
of timber in a short time. From one mill
alone 70,000 railroad ties have lately been
shipped to the Consolidated Street Rail
way Company of Salt Lake, nil of which
have been treated. Tho last shipment of
the lot started out Saturday. It is a good
thing that some method of preserving
such sleepers has been discovered as this
will tend to delay the denudation of
Oregon timber lands.
clambake for JSLK8. Tne. Elks are
preparing to havei a stag social some
night this week. A committee has also
been appointed to make arrangements for
a grand clambatae, to come oft early in
August, and to be on the grand scale of
the bake held 12 years ago. One of the
principal things the committee are to
attend to is to select a place where plenty
of clams right fresh from the fiats can
be secured and to see that an abundant
supply of green corn, lobsters, crawfish
and all the necessaries for a first-class
feast are provided. The Elks are getting
ready to attend the Woodmen's carnival
and expect to have the evening of July
24 set apart for them, if the committee
appointed can make arrangements to se

PARIS TO PORTLAND.
Xapthnll Kohn, a Former Resident of
TIiIh City, Returns From Europe.
Napthall Kohn, a former resident of
Portland, returned to the city yesterday.
'after a six years' absence in Europe. Mr.
Kohn was in business here for many
years and is still a large property holder
in the city. His visit at this time Is In
connection with his Portland interests,
and for the purpose of visiting his
brother, Charles Kohn. To an Oregonian
repreBentatlv.e at the Hotel Portland last
evening he said:
"I am delighted to be in Portland again.
I stopped only two days in New York. It
was very hot there and I was anxious to
reach Oregon, which Is God's country.
It is nojt the same Portland which I re
turn to, however. When I left the sliver
agitation was at its height and business
conditions were very bad. The city has
grown wonderfully since and is on a sound
basis.
"My residence abroad has Impressed me
with the great opportunities Europe offers
as a market for Oregon fruit. The fruit
raised in Germany, France and England
is vastly inferior to the Oregon products,
and the supply is very limited. Why, do
you know, that fruit Is the greatest lux
ury found throughout Europe and only
the wealthy can afford it?J,I have fre
quently paid 30 cents for aT single slice
of lemon at Paris hotels. Peaches and
apples are almost as expensive. Ameri
can apples are sold all over England and
the Continent, but they do not come from
Oregon and are not nearly so good as
those raised here. With the modern facilities-
for transporting fruit, the Oregon
growers could place their product on-the
London, Paris and Vienna market in fine
condition and sell It at prices undreamed
of here. I should like to see them Inves
tigate the matter and am convinced it
could be made a source of great profit,"
Mr. Kohn will remain in the city for
some time, and it is not Improbable that
he will remain permanently.

patrons, with every face new in the bill.
Talk about welcoming an old friend.
Eva Thatcher, who recently appeared
here at the opening of the present vaude
ville season, is one of this week's attrac
tions, and she received a glad welcome.
The most of her work is new, and was
as amusing as ever. She paid her respects
as usual to the "sheepskin" drummer In
the orchestra, and one of her new songs
is "I'm 1 a Happy Irish Girl." Charles
Chenoweth, the cornet virtuoso, again
delighted his hearers with his rapidity and
beauty of execution, and his fine tone.
Frank Bowman is very clever at the
tricks In which he manages to make cards
disappear Into the air and his sleight of
hand work Is so good that the eye Is
completely deceived. One of his new tricks
Is turning water Into wine and vice verse.
and he also did the canary trick where
he makes the audience think he has placed
a live canary in a paper bag, and then
fires with a revolver Into the bag. Of
course, Mr. Canary turns up safely In his
cage. Bowman's last trick Is his own dis
appearance. Apparently, he places himself
in a cage with iron bars, but comes to
light among the audience. Kelly ard

The Tyfold Collar
The picture shows how the
collar is cut out on each side
to allow for adjusting a neck
tie without springing the col
lar open. The collar comes
close together in front, it keeps
the tie in place and you don't
see the cut-out part. Besides
the tie is retained just over the
button, which is also kept but of sight.
Your summer comfort will be increased
if you wear one, and you'll thank us
for the style. Dealers sell them.

THE PEOPLE ALL
In Chorntt Cried, Give "Us Xewhro's
Herplclde.
This word of lato has been In every one's
mouth, and many are wondering what tho
word signifies, though no one has yet
been found who will deny that NEW
BRO'S HERPICIDE does the work.
Well, for the Information of thousands of
people who like to know all about a good
thing, we would say that HERPICIDE
means a destroyer or killer of "Herpes."
Now, "Herpes" Is the family name of a
disease caused by various vegetable para
sites. A similar microbe causes dandruff,
itching scalp and falling: hair: this is the
microbe that NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE
promptly destroys; after which the hair
grows. Sold by leading dnigglsts. Send

is but a small matter to con
nect it to the electric light
circuit. It is quickly heated
and remains heated as long
as the current is on. Espe
cially in the sewing room,
where a hot iron is often
needed, will this be appre
ciated from the fact that it
requires no fire and no run
ning to and from the kitchen.

tively guarantee to remove any number of
